there is a guy who runs a hotel called poppies in calander in Scotland who was one of the test pilots for the harrier and has loads of pictures of him working in the harrier, might be worth a visit if you are ever north of the border

I finished “The Unit” that I posted above…great read and I highly recommend it.
I bought “Army of None” when it was first released in 2018 and I am just picking it back up again. It’s thick, complex, and full of technical jargon, weapons, and specifications, but it’s a 4.5-star book on Amazon and I’m interested in the subject matter. I know that it’s not as state-of-the-art now six years later…my how time passed when I first bought it!

well this is my next read and it was supposed to ve the book i read first then Kham Duc, oh well nevermind.
Lang Vie gets all the press about the NVA using tanks there but Ben Het, also known sarcastically by the troops there as “Been Hit” also had issues with NVA armour attacks which i hope to find out more about in this book hopefully.

Ed (rip) has a whole series (4 books) on Marine tank battles from WW2 to “today” plus a number more of smaller focus books like that one. Was the go to person on Marine armor as he was also a modeler.
Don’t know of any similar Canadian armor books.

I am currently reading “Foot Soldier” about an infantryman in the 84th division in Europe in WW2. It is an easy read about his personal experiences and adventures in the trek across Europe in 1944/45. Written by Roscoe Blunt and published in 2000. It is an enjoyable read.

I just started this book and it’s my first from Vince Flynn and the Mitch Rapp series.
I needed something to jog my imagination besides non-fiction “Army of None” that can be very technical and somewhat boring about modern sophisticated weapon and sensor designs.

I have become addicted to these kind of reads. Read all the Mitch Rapp books. There a bunch of authors out there who do similar. Currently working my way through Daniel Silva’s books. Mossad agent Gabriel Allen.

Where is Mack Bolan when you need him? I must have read a hundred episodes while in the field in the 70’s

Book ribbon for hard-bound, dog ear for paperback. … But neither will amount to a hill of beans if I can’t find my proper eyewear.

Many years ago I bought a book (can’t recall what it was) from a 2nd hand book store & found a beautifully compressed joint in it. Of course I did the right thing…

Paper board (model box art) for page keepers. They have to be configured as a top and bottom like the one in your picture “proper bookmark”. This way I can mark where I left off by sticking out the ‘side’ of the book with top or bottom sticking out to remind me left page or right page and the level the bookmark is sticking out is the paragraph or line I am to pick up reading again.
Never leave face down or dog ear. And never write notes in the book. If I need to note something then I use post-its.
Mad Props to those who can memorize the page number
